A Magical Archipelago
To get there is just as much a part of the journey as the retreat itself
Nestled in the heart of the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles is a small archipelago of 115 islands. The turquoise waters and the tropical rainforest provide an enchanting natural backdrop that is just the beginning of your journey into regenerative luxury and personal transformation.
A melting pot of African, Asian, and European influence gives this nation a cultural distinction that is only matched by the plant and animal life unique to the islands.
There is magic in the small islands and an energy that you cannot feel anywhere else.
The rhythmic melody of the waves intertwines with the gentle sway of palm trees, creating a symphony of peace and rejuvenation
It truly is the perfect space to find some quiet within the chaos.

FAQs
Where is Seychelles
It is a small archipelago located about 800 miles off the east coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean.
What airlines can I fly
While the travel will be extensive, it will be worth it. Also, depending on where you are coming from, you will most likely have a layover in the Middle East.
United Airlines, Emirates, Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways, Edelweiss Air
These are just a few that fly to Seychelles
Can I buy my ticket on Expedia or Priceline
You may use whatever platform you feel comfortable with.
That said, there have been issues with lost and unconfirmed tickets on third party platforms in the past so I always HIGHLY suggest you book directly through the airline.
What sorts of activities will we be doing?
The activities and workshops are meant to be complimentary to each other. For instance our workshops on belief systems, which stem from our lived experience, is paired with a historic tour of Victoria so we can understand the celebrated history of the capital and the islands.
There will be hikes, boat rides, and bike rides, yet you may choose to participate or simply rejuvenate.
